Michelle da Silva Liberato

Holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Faculdade Campo Limpo Paulista (2009), a Master's degree (2012 FAPESP), and a Ph.D. (2015 FAPESP) in Nanosciences and Advanced Materials from Universidade Federal do ABC, with a focus on supramolecular chemistry and polymeric materials under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wendel A. Alves.Completed postdoctoral research at LNNano-CNPEM (2017-2018), working on the synthesis and functionalization of silica nanoparticles with peptides for biomedical applications under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mateus Borba Cardoso. In 2019, conducted an international research internship at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, under the guidance of Dr. Andrei Kholkin, focusing on the preparation of peptide-based nanostructures in films and solution to enhance stability and investigate their piezoelectric properties. From 2019 to 2021, pursued postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo, focusing on the expression of recombinant proteins for the development of hydrogels intended for 3D-printed scaffolds, under the supervision of Dr. Luiz Henrique Catalani. Research interests include polymers, peptide self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, interfacial phenomena, molecular devices, functionalization of nanoparticles, and nanocomposites, with a strong focus on biosensors. Extensive experience in the characterization of nanomaterials using advanced analytical techniques, including spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis), microscopy (SEM, TEM, Cryo-EM), and microtomography (SkyScan). With a solid interdisciplinary background, actively engaged in the development of innovative nanomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly in biosensing technologies.
